Performance Analysis
Memory bandwidth of 2450 GB/s on the Gaudi 2 exceeds the 732 GB/s on the P100 by a factor derived solely from those figures. Larger 96 GB capacity versus 16 GB capacity permits greater data residency before host transfers occur. The P100 publishes a dense FP16 rating of 18.7 TFLOPS and a dense FP32 rating of 9.3 TFLOPS. No dense FP16 rating appears for the Gaudi 2 so direct arithmetic comparison remains unavailable. TDP values of 600W and 250W indicate different power envelopes that affect sustained operation density.

When to Choose the Gaudi 2
The Gaudi 2 suits workloads that require 96 GB memory capacity to hold large tensors without partitioning. Its 2450 GB/s bandwidth supports higher throughput for memory bound operations compared with the 732 GB/s alternative.
When to Choose the P100
The P100 suits workloads that fit within 16 GB memory and benefit from a published dense FP16 rating of 18.7 TFLOPS at a TDP of 250W. Its NVLink interconnect matches legacy systems that lack RoCE Ethernet support.
Use Cases
The 96 GB capacity holds larger batches than the 16 GB capacity before swapping occurs.
The 96 GB capacity accommodates bigger models than the 16 GB capacity during serving.
The 2450 GB/s bandwidth moves gradients faster than the 732 GB/s bandwidth for parameter updates.
The 96 GB capacity supports higher resolution generation than the 16 GB capacity without tiling.
The published dense FP32 rating of 9.3 TFLOPS provides a known baseline at 250W TDP.
